I have a box of Federal .22lr 36 grain CP HP 1260fps. 550 red box. Lot 14E120 Load no. 790. I've maybe shot 200 rounds out of it. My first hundred or so I was having bad "primers" every other magazine. I went to the range for the first time in quite a few months and I was having a puff of blue smoke come out of the barrel and very little or next to no recoil. Don't remember if there was much sound. I was like this must be a squib as I never had one. So I field strip it to look down the barrel and see nothing other then it looking quite dirty. Out of maybe 4 10rnd magazines this happened 7~ times. I eventually gave up and went to try out some CCI mini mags I bought. They worked fine, in my Ruger Mark IV.
Is this just junk ammo?
